Law without JusticeWhy Criminal Law Doesn’t Give People What They DeservePaul H. Robinson, Colin S. Diver Distinguished Professor ofLaw, University of Pennsylvania Law School, and Michael T.Cahill, Assistant Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School

If an innocent person is sent to prison or if a killer walks free,we are outraged.The legal system assures us, and we expectand demand, that it will seek to “do justice” in criminal cases.So why, for some cases, does the criminal law deliberately and routinely sacrificejustice? In this unflinching look at American criminal law, Paul Robinson and MichaelCahill demonstrate that cases with unjust outcome are not always irregular orunpredictable. Rather, that criminal law sometimes chooses not to give defendantswhat they deserve: that is, unsatisfying results occur even when the system works asit is designed to work.With a panoramic view of the overlapping and oftencompeting goals that our legal institutions must balance on a daily basis, Law withoutJustice challenges us to restore justice to the criminal justice system.

A Jurisprudence of PowerVictorian Empire and the Rule of LawR.W. Kostal, Associate Professor of Law and History,University of Western Ontario

A Jurisprudence of Power concerns the brutal suppression undermartial law of the Jamaica uprising of 1865, and the explosivedebate and litigation these events spawned in England.Thebook explores the centrality of legal ideas and institutions inEnglish politics, and of political ideas that give rise to greatquestions of English law.

It documents how the world’s most powerful and articulate political elite struggledwith fundamental questions about law, morality, and power. Can a constitutional staterule a sprawling empire without breaking faith with the rule of law? Can it contendwith the violent resistance of subjugated peoples without corrupting the integrity ofits legal and political ideals?

The book addresses these questions as it reconstructs the most prolonged andimportant conflict over martial law and the rule of law in the history of England inthe nineteenth century.

The Pursuit of FairnessA History of Affirmative ActionTerry H.Anderson, Professor of History,Texas A&M University

‘Few books match the breadth of his story of affirmative action in theUnited States ....Anderson skillfully weaves the story of how racism, sexismand paternalism for the disabled come out of the common cloth ofAmerican prejudices.’— Timothy J. O’Neill, Law & Politics Book Review

Affirmative action strikes at the heart of deeply held beliefs about employment andeducation, about the concepts of justice and fairness, and about the troubled historyof race relations in America.This is the only book available that gives readers abalanced, non-polemical, and lucid account of this highly contentious issue.

Conquest by LawHow the Discovery of America DispossessedIndigenous Peoples of Their LandsLindsay G. Robertson, University of Oklahoma College of Law

‘This is an exceptional work that breaks new ground and contributes toour understanding not only of a specific case, but of the role of theSupreme Court in the American Republic. An important contribution toboth the study of law and the history of the West.’— Rennard Strickland, Philip H. Knight Professor of Law,

University of Oregon

In 1823, Chief Justice John Marshall handed down a Supreme Court decision ofmonumental importance in defining the rights of indigenous peoplesthroughout the English-speaking world.At the heart of the decision for Johnsonv. M’Intosh was a “discovery doctrine” that gave rights of ownership to theEuropean sovereigns who “discovered” the land and converted the indigenousowners into tenants.Though its meaning and intention has been fiercelydisputed, more than 175 years later, this doctrine remains the law of the land.In 1991, while investigating the discovery doctrine’s historical origins LindsayRobertson made a startling find; in the basement of a Pennsylvania furniture-maker, he discovered a trunk with the complete corporate records of theIllinois and Wabash Land Companies, the plaintiffs in Johnson v. M’Intosh.Conquest by Law provides, for the first time, the complete and troublingaccount of the European “discovery” of the Americas.This is a gripping tale ofpolitical collusion, detailing how a spurious claim gave rise to a doctrine--intended to be of limited application--which itself gave rise to a massivedisplacement of persons and the creation of a law that governs indigenouspeople and their lands to this day.

Litigation in Roman LawErnest Metzger, Senior Lecturer in Law,University of Aberdeen

Most modern accounts of how the classical Romans sued eachother tend to show the opponents willingly cooperating underthe guidance of a magistrate, until their case was ready fortrial.This view of relatively polite and orderly initiation of suitswas based on tiny amounts of evidence. Metzger examines aflood of new evidence, painting a picture of litigation that is farless polite and far less orderly. He examines how the rules of procedure coped withthe typical pretrial delays that the Roman system, and indeed any legal system, faces.
